Pip Marinho

Always earnest, always relatable. Under the Radar Magazine (US) calls them "Lisbon’s finest new musical export". Through their guitar fingerpicking and emotionally charged voice, Portuguese singer-songwriter Pip Marinho (formerly known as Marinho) underscores life’s delicate nuances between holding pain and releasing it. Cathartic resolutions come in the form of alternative folk rock songs they’ve written and assembled on their 2019 debut album ​”~” (read ‘tilde’) and other works they’re preparing to release. Their deeply personal and confessional music is undoubtedly cementing their growing reputation.

Pip has opened for the likes of Allegra Krieger, Anna St. Louis, Alice Phoebe Lou, Manel Cruz and more. They've played extensively in Portugal and have taken steps into international touring in the UK and Europe. Some press have compared them to Buck Meek (Big Thief), Black Belt Eagle Scout and even beloved rock icon Alanis Morissette. Go figure.

Their debut LP ended up in various lists for best album of the year and the single Window Pain was nominated for best song of 2019 in the SPA awards. In 2021, Pip Marinho was the official portuguese-representing act at Eurosonic (ESNS).

In 2024 they released the single Férias, as part of the compilation "Amigues com Graça". It came out on Lay Down Recordings, the new indie label that Pip themselves has founded with a few artists on the Lisbon indie folk scene such as April Marmara, Alek Rein, Monday, Francisco Fontes and more.
